Plymouth HEMI Cuda 1971 – kit from LEGO® bricks

From 1964 to 1974, the car manufacturer Chrysler produced the Barracuda, which was sporty and compact by American standards, under the brand name Plymouth. In 1971, they combined this vehicle with an extremely powerful engine with a hemispherical combustion chamber. The result: the Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda.

This metal man's dream, with a 7-liter engine, 8 cylinders and 431 hp, is one of the muscle cars, produced in 108 units. They came into being in the 1950s, but were not called that back then, and are now popular collector's models. One of the most sought-after, partly because it is very rare, is the 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. Up to 4 million US dollars can be paid for a well-preserved example. If you are a little short on cash after this issue, you can register the good piece as a "motor vehicle historical cultural asset" – insurance and tax are then significantly cheaper.
